continue to share 4.“Everywhere, itseems, there are clear and positive signs that people are becoming morerespectful of one another’s differences.” In your opinion, how accurate is the view expressed above? Usereasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading todevelop your position. No exactly two people are born entirelysame. Even the twins have some trivial differences since they come to the worldand the older they get, the more deviations in their performances and minds. Aswe all know the fact that we are somewhat different from other people in theworld, we should consider the differences when we make group decisions or takeactions which might affect other people. As high pace globalization and technology transformationoccur, people are becoming more open-minded. Nowadays in most fields, peopleshow increasing respects to others’ differences. For example, now we let theseniors and pregnant ladies sit in buses while we stand; we give ways todisabled people when we walk; and we try to be nice to our foreign friends wheneverthey ask for a favor. In the business world, people show more interest inothers’ competitive advantages and are willing to share different knowledgebases. All these facts definitely reflect that people now are more aware of thedifferences between themselves and others than ever before, and as far as I am concerned,the general trend that our society is heading to a politer direction shows aprogress in the development of our nation. However, we should still be cautious. Sometimesthose who we think need different treatment may not desire our special care. Ihad once got hurt in a car accident and had to sit in a vehicle for a fewmonths. Everyone cares my safety. My mother was highly willing to protect me.She became very reluctant to my demand to hanging out with my friends. She prohibitedme from going outside with my friends, even for studying purpose. She worriedthat my friends might take advantages at my short-term disability. But she didn'tget what I felt. Although I was hurt physically, I was still healthy in my mind!“If only mum can treat me as a normal girl!” I murmured. My own experiencetaught me a lesson that it is really important to care what the ones differentfrom us in the way they desire, not just to take actions in the way we thinkappropriate. -- by 会员 yougushizi (2010/8/7 15:46:08)
偶感觉你篇issue中,对于differences的解释不是很清楚:这里可能更强调的个体的差异化。 我们的论点就是是否有more signs来反映人们对这个difference的态度是否是more respectful 而你的两个例子当中 一个是给老人和孕妇让座之类的这个是一个好的传统,并不能体现more and 提供positive signs,另外一个your monther对于你的care只能说明他因为太care你而忽略了你的感受,也并不能体现她对你的difference more respectful or not 呵呵,个人的一点意见,仅供参考 -- by 会员 smilingyuer (2010/8/8 13:47:52)
